Validation of sorghum quality control (QC) markers across African breeding lines.

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a cereal crop of critical importance in the semi-arid tropics, particularly in Africa where it is second only to maize (Zea mays L.) by area of cultivation.

Assessing yield performance and stability of local sorghum genotypes: A methodological framework combining multi-environment trials and participatory multi-trait evaluation.

Sorghum grain is a vital staple cereal crop for food and nutritional security for rural households in Burkina Faso. However, its yields are regularly affected by environmental and socio-economic constraints. Here, we aim to assess the performance and grain yield stability of local sorghum genotypes, as well as their acceptability by smallholder farmers.
